However, as a small indie studio, our resources are very limited, making it challenging to expand further. Because of this, we're also exploring alternative methods - like community localizations![/p][p][/p][p]Since our Early Access launch, we've received countless heartwarming messages from players wanting to translate Doloc Town into their native languages. Unfortunately, due to our pixel-art font design, some languages with unique character sets may experience display issues.[/p][p][/p][p]As a result, we've created a dedicated #community-localization channel in our official Discord server. This will serve as a central hub for volunteers to discuss & engage in community localizations while we address technical challenges. We also plan to share more detailed info on community localization later through our Discord server so if you're willing to help out, be sure to join our server and say hi in #community-localization channel![/p][p][/p][p]Follow us on Social Media & Community: [/p][p][/p][p]Discord [/p][p]Twitter [/p][p]Instagram [/p][p]Subreddit [/p]

Dear Scavengers!

[h3]Roadmap Survey[/h3]

It's been about two weeks since the launch of Doloc Town. After countless hotfixes over the last few days and the reveal of the Early Access roadmap last week, the team is ready to take a short break for some much-needed rest. We'll take the time to recharge and prepare for the new content coming in June.

After the initial reveal of Doloc Town’s Early Access roadmap last week, the team received a lot of feedback from the community. This got us thinking - maybe we should release a survey to ask players what content they’d like to see in upcoming updates. After all, one of the core reasons we launched Early Access was to gather ongoing community feedback, ensuring the game is polished for the official 1.0 release.


Please share your thoughts on Doloc Town’s future development in the survey below! Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll review it as soon as the team returns from break.

SURVEY

The team will carefully consider the survey feedback and share an updated roadmap if necessary, but don’t worry - it won’t be a drastic change, as we still have our own creative vision for the project in mind.

Meanwhile, we're also hosting some events within our community with Steam Gift Card & Doloc Town Soundtrack Keys so be sure to check it out if you're interested!

[h3]Scenery Contest[/h3]

To celebrate the releases, we are hosting a screenshot contest to find the best images captured by players in town! 📷


Share your Doloc Town best pixel art visuals discovered in-game on Twitter, Discord or Instagram for a chance to win Steam Gift Card and guaranteed Doloc Town soundtrack code!

Event ends May 28th 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
